NAME
     kua -  find files which are identical to the given one (comes from the Hun-
	    garian keresd ugyanazt - meaning "find the same")

SYNOPSIS
     kua [OPTION]... -f <file> [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
     kua  will	look for files which are identical to the one given as the argu-
     ment of -f. The files found will be printed on separate lines.

OPTIONS
     -i     ignore letter case

     -w     ignore white spaces

     -n     do not ask the file system for file size

     -v     verbose output (prints stuff to stderr), verbose help

     -b size
	    set internal buffer size (default 1024)

     -h     this help (-vh more verbose help)

     -	    read file names from stdin, where each line contains one  file  name
	    (this must also be the last option in the list)

OUTPUT
     The files found will be printed on separate lines.

EXAMPLES
     Get help on usage:

	    $ kua -h
	    $ kua -vh

     Find the files identical to fav.mpg under home:

	    $ find ~ -type f | kua -f ~/music/fav.mpg -

     Only  files  which have the same size (according to the FS) will be consid-
     ered.

     Find files identical to x.h, ignoring white spaces:

	    $ find ~/code -name '*.h' | kua -b256 -wf ~/code/X/x.h -

     Since the comparison ignores white spaces, use a  smaller	buffer	(of  256
     bytes).   White space ignoring comparison will not care about the file size
     and thus it is significantly slower.
